UPDATE: Out of surgery with WONDERFUL news....The lymph node was not affected nor removed. Seems she had a Lipoma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoma under her lymph node.She is already waking up and can come home this evening.

Thank you all for your posts, good thoughts, prayers, crossed fingers and paws, and anything else you sent our way - PM's, emails...It is wonderful to know we have such support from our 'virtual' friends. Wish we could give you all a real hug, but until then

Trouble is resting (mostly peacefully - a whine now and then) and happy to be home. And Duke is very glad to have his buddy back. He's right next to her.
